Stock m3 e92 vs MTM 2010 S4
"The tuners at MTM have begun tweaking the all-new 2010 Audi S4 (B8) in Europe, and as expected, Audi's new supercharged 333-hp 3.0-liter V6 is rife with potential. With only a revised ECU – no underdrive pulley, intake or exhaust mods – MTM was able to coax 430 crank horsepower out of the blown six – 97 hp more than stock.
The kit, which retails for 2,491 euros (around $3,500 USD), brings torque output up to 380 lb-ft and,according to MTM, drops the 0-60 mph time from 5.2 to 4.6 seconds.Clearly, good things are on the way for the BMW 335i fighter, and weexpect more to follow when the new darling of the Euro-tuning scenearrives in the States later this year." 420hp V8 vs 430hp V6 which is faster on straight line race? |

this is no comp for the m3 i think...
it should be rs4-5 vs the m and this car vs the 335.... oh and believe me a nicely tuned 335 will take this car too spending 1/10th the money of the 3500 |

M3 definitely. It is RWD so lower drivetrain loss. It has a much superior power-to-weight ratio since the S4 weighs in at a hefty 3900 - 4000 lbs, which is around 300 lbs heavier than the M3.

I think that the S4 will kill the 135-335 They will be easier to mod also(pulley,boost) (RS4 MTM supercharger is 20K while the VF is about 8K$) I would buy an m3 over an S4 anyday of the week

Slightly off topic but interesting that the Audi Q5 concept at a recent motor show featured the S4 3.0L supercharged engine tuned up to 400HP and 400lbft of torque.
This might give a hint of what could be coming with the RS5... |

In stock form the two match up like this (all times supplied are from Europe where both have been tested) 0-100km/h M3 :4.6s vs 5.0s : S4v6 0-160km/h M3 :10.2s vs 11.5s : S4v6 0-200km/h M3 :15.4s vs 18.6s : S4v6 These times were from one magazine (AMS) to show a fair reference point and Europe's method of testing acceleration times, if you were to take both to a dragstrip and use their method of timing (i.e.1ft rollout) then the M3 will regain the lead a little earlier. But if the surface is less than ideal I would say that the M3 would never regain control of the race. |
